On how to make the big cat sleep obediently [Time Travel]

Duke Qing's Mansion is the head of nobles in the imperial city. It has gone through four dynasties and has been hereditary. It is the mother's family of Empress Dowager Xu.

The current Duke of Qing, Xu Pengli, is the eldest brother of Empress Dowager Xu, and he is having secret talks with his eldest son, second son and nephew in the study.

Xu Shirong said to his father: "The Empress Dowager is in the palace, and the mother and the others are accompanying her. If you think about what father means, she already knows very well."

Xu Pengli nodded: "You let the Tong family also go to see Concubine Ru, don't let her be instigated by others to do anything that is not good for my Xu family."

When Xu Shirong heard this, he immediately felt a little ashamed, bowed his head and cupped his hands and replied, "Father, don't worry, Ru'er will never make mistakes again."

Xu Xueru was a concubine sent by the Duke of Qing's mansion to take care of the eldest son of the emperor when the former noble concubine Xu was imprisoned behind the Hanchi Hall.

Because she is also a daughter of the Xu family, she has been taken care of by the queen mother in the palace, and she has now been named a concubine.

Last year, Prince Yu went to the northern border. Originally, the Duke of Qing thought that His Majesty would do something to the Duke of Qing. Who knew that he was always respectful to the Queen Mother and the Xu family, and he didn't seem to take the pain of losing his son into consideration. on them.

However, Xu Pengli and the Queen Mother Xu have already seen the signs that the emperor may no longer be under their control from the series of events in which Concubine Yuan was granted the title, Concubine Jiang was favored, and even almost had a child. The prince who has no power and can only rely on others to save his life.

Therefore, even though the relationship between the Xu family and the emperor has become more "intimate" over the past year, they still feel jealous.

Especially after the Chou Yuan envoy of the Imperial Hospital recommended two doctors into the palace to check the emperor's pulse and His Majesty's health improved, they couldn't relax for a moment.

When Xu Xueru entered the palace, it was on the surface to take care of the prince born to her sister-in-law, but in fact she wanted to go to the emperor's side, as the Xu family's eyeliner to observe his actions, and to fight against the popular concubine Jiang De.

I don't know whether it's because the little Xu family is young and beautiful, or because the emperor intends to get close to the Xu family, Liu Xin is very gentle and considerate to Xu Xueru.

People are always dissatisfied, once they are favored, they naturally want to be pampered for a long time, even exclusively... Concubine Ru, who was originally protecting the eldest son of the emperor into the palace, gradually has her own thoughts.

After all, the emperor is in his prime, and she is also young. In the eyes of Concubine Ru, she is also Xu's daughter. The abolished concubine almost dragged down the Xu family. How can her son be honored?

What's more, the eldest son of the emperor is still a sick child with a small illness every three days and a serious illness every five days. He doesn't know how long he will live. If the Xu family gets a prince again, the elders of the clan will naturally value it...

Empress Dowager Xu has been in the harem for many years, so she still has this bit of insight, plus the matter of the noble concubine, she worried that Concubine Ru was bewitched by the emperor and would develop jealousy that would be detrimental to the eldest son of the emperor, so she beat her up.

There are some things she can't tell Concubine Ru, but as long as she has her own thoughts, she will be easily used by the emperor, which is not conducive to the great cause of the Xu family. This potential threat must be killed as soon as possible.

What's more, Liu Xin was very kind to Concubine Ru, but he didn't neglect Concubine Jiang. The rare harmony and peace in the harem also showed the emperor's attitude of not helping each other. It is ridiculous to believe in the emperor's favor.

Empress Dowager Xu discovered the psychological changes of Concubine Ru in time, and she was especially worried after she punished her slightly, so she informed the Duke, and Xu Pengli specifically mentioned this to Xu Shirong.

As Concubine Ru's father, Xu Shirong was naturally very angry when he heard about the concubine's actions. This time, the Duke's wife, his wife, and his younger brother's wife all entered the palace to accompany the Empress Dowager. He also specially asked his wife to "teach" Concubine Ru well and put her to rest completely. Unrealistic thoughts.

"Your Majesty has no other heirs except the eldest son of the emperor. If this continues, if something happens to the eldest son of the emperor, we must make another plan."

Xu Pengli no longer looked at his son, nor cared about a concubine's affairs, but continued to talk to them about important issues in the palace: "At first I thought His Majesty would call Jian Zunyou back to the palace, and planned to use his hand to lure Prince Yu into the game. I didn't expect His Majesty to be completely unmoved, which shows that he really values ​​the eldest son of the emperor."

Xu Shirong secretly thought: the emperor has been in power for ten years, and he has such a single seedling, of course he is extremely important... If Shuangxing was not killed at the beginning, and he is now five years old, if there is still a royal martial arts, Liu Xin will definitely love him, how could he possibly And he was so kind to the eldest son of the emperor.

He was very fortunate that his father and the queen mother found out the clues and made a decisive decision. After learning that His Majesty was deceiving, they immediately acted first, otherwise the remaining prince would be a very difficult problem.

Because the queen mother failed to leave a prince of the Xu family's blood, the Duke's Mansion certainly hoped that the next emperor could keep Xu's blood, so that the many regrets left when respecting the emperor and Emperor Li could be made up for.

It's a pity that Xu Shirong's daughter didn't have more princes, otherwise they wouldn't be in trouble because of the emperor's eldest son's illness.

"It may not be of any use for Jian Zunyou to be recalled. He has been away from His Royal Highness the eldest son for a long time, and he is with Prince Yu. It is unbelievable... If there are so many imperial doctors and they still can't cure them, there is nothing we can do."

——If this is the case, then they can only settle for the next best thing and find an obedient and easy-to-control successor.

Qing Guogong Xu Pengli mentioned that the eldest son of the emperor who has the blood of the Xu family has no warmth: "The eldest son of the emperor has his Majesty's attention, so there is no need to talk about this matter. Liu Can and Liu Feng of Prince Jue's family have two sons each. They all have supernatural powers, but..."

Now the entire Jizhou royal family, the lineage of Prince Jue, the king of Kuijun guarding the north, the lineage of Shuojun king and the lineage of Yanjun king guarding the east and west, and the prince Yu who has power over the government and the public, to a certain extent, All have the possibility of inheriting the throne.

The four grandsons of Prince Jue were born in Tianjing and grew up in Tianjing, so they possess divine power.And if Prince Jue's lineage continues to stay in Tianjing, this advantage will become more and more obvious.

It's just that Prince Jue, as the half-brother of the emperor, has a high seniority and a distinguished status. Although he has been extremely low-key for so many years and does not fight or grab, he has been operating in Beijing for many years.

Now he has become Zongzheng, in charge of the affairs of the clan, and can even supervise the country when the emperor travels. The palace has accumulated a lot of influence over time.

With power, he thought it might give birth to ambition, not to mention that Prince Jue's mansion has stood firm for so many years, and can survive in the competition between the emperor, the Xu family and the regent, so it is impossible for him to be an incompetent person.

For the Xu family, the Prince Jue's Mansion must be used with caution, otherwise a vicious tiger may be raised if one is not careful.

In the fiefdom, the king of Shuo County has only one son with a soul, and he needs to take over to guard the east. However, the king of Shuo County has two sons who are born with martial arts, which can be taken into consideration.

The newly appointed Liu Kui looked very "obedient", but his heirs could no longer have souls, so they were excluded early on.

In other words, if the eldest son of the emperor does not escape this time, and the emperor has no heirs, then the Xu family must find the most "suitable" among these soulful royal families.

Xu Pengli often thought that if it wasn't for the Liu family who had the soul to guard the border against demons, it would not be impossible for the Xu family to replace them.

But like now, holding an emperor in his hands, controlling the government, and being the real ruler is not bad.

"The only thing we can't be sure about now is whether Prince Yu really has no heirs of his own."

Xu Shirong's heart trembled when he heard the words - they tried their best to calculate, if Prince Yu had already left behind, then these efforts would easily come to naught.

There is no doubt that Prince Yu has the power of martial arts.

Because of the Queen Mother, the Xu family knew about the existence of the Demon-Suppressing Camp. The Liyang Army, under the leadership of Prince Yu, had patrolled above Shaohai. If he had no soul, he would not be able to drive the "mount" of the Demon-Suppressing Camp.

But even Prince Jue claimed that he had never seen Prince Yu's soul, which meant that Liu Yu's power was superior to that of his uncle Prince Jue, so he was able to hide his soul from him.

In the early years, no one guessed that Prince Yu was actually the soul of his ancestors, but Emperor Li did not choose him to succeed him before his death. In addition, Prince Yu himself did not compete for the throne, and he never mentioned his own martial arts. This guess is nothing. Believe it.

At least Xu Pengli didn't believe that Prince Yu would choose to give up fighting for the throne if he returned the soul of his ancestors - that was the return of the ancestors that brought prosperity!

As long as he speaks out that he is the soul of his ancestors, and raises his arms, there will be countless civil servants and generals who will surround him for the prosperity of Jizhou. For Liu Yu, obtaining the throne will be a piece of cake.

In the early years, Prince Yu didn't like to be in contact with others because of nightmares, and he has never married. Even the beauties sent by the parties in the palace seem to have never been close at all.

But Xu Pengli didn't think that a royal family would be so "clean and clean". Even His Majesty had several concubines and low-ranking servants. How could Prince Yu, who is strong and in his prime, not be close to women?

What's more, according to the information obtained by the Queen Mother, Liu Yu should have recovered by now, or the nightmare is no longer so serious, and it may only be a matter of time before he marries a Na girl and gives birth to an heir.

The matter about Prince Yu is like a huge rock, not only on the emperor's head, but also on Xu's head, they have to guard against it.

It is meaningless to arrange for him a princess from his own camp to monitor and influence him.

Because they were sure that Prince Yiyu's temper was definitely not the kind of person who would listen to his wife and be influenced by the princess.

Thinking of this, Xu Pengli told his nephew: "Find someone to contact the west side first, and then we can talk about the situation... As for Prince Jue's residence, don't move for now, and see if they can hold their breath."

……

At this time, Xiaonian, who was still living in Jian's house, was slightly relieved when he saw that the Emperor Jizhou didn't seem to have any plans to call his grandfather into the palace.

"Your Highness said, please relax and rest at home. Don't get tired. If there is any order from the palace, His Highness will immediately come to accompany Mr. Jane."

Xiaonian nodded to Gao Sui: "The eldest son of the emperor is seriously ill. Xiaohuai's first birthday party will be kept simple. With my aunt in charge, I don't have anything to do."

He thought for a while, handed the things in his hand to the other party, and then asked Gao Sui to go back to deliver the letter.

Prince Yu had been waiting in the mansion for a long time. After waiting for Xiaonian's reply, he opened and read it seemingly unhurriedly, but in fact he could read every word clearly. I can recite some original words and sentences.

"Aww, aww~" The little tiger cubs still looked like their ancestors returning to their souls at this time. They pawed on Liu Yu's legs with their small claws, screamed and urged Liu Yu, and stretched their bodies and necks as much as possible. , I really want to see what my brother wrote to them.

Prince Yu saw a passage, "Have Kuaiguai and Zaizai practiced five big characters in the past two days? They are still young, so don't rush to work so hard, and reduce their homework appropriately", he couldn't help frowning slightly.

——You can't make a good job if you don't cut it, how can you easily relax the requirements just because the kid is young?

He glanced at the little tiger cubs who were beating around him, continued to read the letter with a blank expression, and then picked up some things about them and read them to them, of course, the content of the previous paragraph was hidden.

The next day, Xiaonian opened another thick envelope and found that there were indeed only eight pieces of calligraphy in it, so he nodded in satisfaction.
